Marry a Duke

Cold Palace

Fu Ran was brought here after being knocked unconscious. Two big and strong palace maids knocked her unconscious as soon as they took her away from the crowd.

The person was sent directly to the most secluded cold palace.

Nowadays, no concubine in the emperor's harem has been banished to the cold palace.

This place is remote, quiet, cold and unattended.

Fu Ran was shaken awake. She endured the severe headache, opened her eyes wide, and saw everything in front of her clearly.

Princess Ruhui and Sun Sisi were right in front of her.

Fu Ran rubbed his forehead, frowned, and struggled to get up.

Under their scorching gazes, he smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes.

Clothes are expensive, but if they are tattered, they are worthless.

She stood up, gracefully, with a dignified look, calm and no longer panicked.

"It turns out to be Princess Ruhui, and Miss Sun..." She smiled faintly, her elegance and grace came naturally.

"If you two want to talk to me in private, why bother? Just send someone over to tell me. After all, we are old acquaintances."

She no longer spoke in a timid manner.

She knew that showing weakness would not have any effect, but would make Princess Ruhui think that she was even more vulnerable.

Sun Sisi resented her for taking away the position of Lady of Duke Weiguo that should have belonged to her.

She should be the one who shines in front of everyone and gets everyone's attention today.

Instead of being a maid in the *** mansion, she even disgraced herself from the status of the wife of Duke Weiguo.

Everyone was laughing at the fact that such a noble man like the Duke of Weiguo had married a maid.

If she had married into the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion that day, given her status as a member of the Marquis of Anbo's Mansion, no one would have laughed at the Duke of Weiguo.

Ruhui's eyes were cold and the look she gave Fu Ran was as if poisoned.

The more glamorous Fu Ran was, the more she couldn't tolerate her.

"Why do you stand before me? Do you think you can be equal to me? Someone, break her legs."

Ruhui suddenly raised her voice and gave instructions to the servants.

The two strong palace maids who had just brought Fu Ran in tied up immediately picked up the sticks beside them and were about to hit Fu Ran's legs when they heard the order.

Fu Ran was as still as a mountain, his eyes and brows calm.

Even if she was panicking, she had to stay calm.

"Princess Ruhui failed to kill me with a knife before. My husband has already found out that it was the princess who did it. He feels very distressed." Fu Ran said in a soft voice.

"If the princess attacks again and hurts his wife, I'm afraid that in my husband's heart, the princess will be an unforgivable vicious woman."

Ruhui is most afraid that the image she has in Wei Xuan’s heart is not clear enough or warm enough.

But no matter what, he didn't want her to be seen as a vicious woman in Wei Xuan's heart.

No man will fall in love with a vicious woman.

"Bitch, you dare to shout in front of this princess? Don't think that this princess doesn't know that Wei Xuan has never entered your house since you married into the Duke of Wei's mansion."

Princess Ruhui had already had everyone investigate thoroughly.

It was just something going on in the backyard. With so many people in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, it would be easy for the news to leak out.

"So what? Wei Xuan and I have been married for a long time." Fu Ran complained, "It was not my wish at the beginning, but it happened like this. If you want to blame someone, blame ***."

When *** was mentioned, Sun Sisi's face turned unhappy.

It was the queen who promised that things would be accomplished and she would be able to marry into the Duke of Weiguo's mansion as she wished.

But things went against her wishes. Not only did she fail to get married, but she also lost her virginity.

*** gave compensation to the Marquis of Anbo's Mansion and promised to find another good family for her, but she was no longer innocent.

Even if someone wanted to marry her, she would not do it willingly. She was just forced to do so under the threat of the police.

Ruhui also blamed her mother for not being able to fulfill her wish.

"Why don't you do it now?" Ruhui shouted angrily.

"Wait--." But no one waited, one of the palace maids had already swung her stick down.

The force hit Fu Ran's legs hard, her knees gave out and she fell to the ground.

The severe pain made sweat break out on her forehead.

Princess Ruhui is truly a lunatic.

"My husband will be here soon. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to enter the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion. With his ability, it will be easy for him to find out who killed me."

"You are trying to erase his wife and want him to bear the stigma of being a wife-killer again. I want to tell you that you will not succeed."

"Princess, all you'll get is his disgust."

The last sentence was so powerful that it struck Princess Ruhui's heart.

She wants to win Wei Xuan's heart.

Not his disgust.

Lan Yin walked around but didn't see Concubine Xian. The palace maid who led the way for her blinked and disappeared.

With no one to lead the way, Lan Yin was at a loss and turned back.

Fu Ran was no longer seen in the Imperial Garden.

She immediately looked around for Old Madam Wei.

"Mother."

Madam Wei glanced at her.

"What's wrong? You don't look right. Where's Fu Ran? He's not with you?"

Lan Yin shook her head and recounted what had just happened.

She was also worried that something might happen.

Madam Wei was a very capable person. She knew immediately that Lan Yin had been deceived by the palace maid.

"Lin'er, look for Fu Ran everywhere. Lan Yin, come with me to look for Wei Xuan."

Before leaving, Madam Wei told Wei Lin not to alarm anyone else.

Wei Lin agreed, as the reputation of the Duke of Wei's Mansion was important.

She would never give others the chance to laugh at the Wei family again.

But she felt even more resentful towards Fu Ran. She could cause so much trouble just by coming to the palace to attend a full moon banquet.

Old Madam Wei brought Lan Yin to find Wei Xuan.

"Xuan'er, come here."

Wei Xuan was talking to someone and came over after a while.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

He looked at his sister-in-law who was feeling very uneasy, but did not see Fu Ran.

"Where's Fu Ran?"

Lan Yin's face turned pale.

"I don't know either. A maid took me to see Concubine Xian. Fu Ran wanted to go with me, but the maid wouldn't let me. She disappeared halfway through the journey, and when I came back, Fu Ran wasn't there either."

Lan Yin remembered that Fu Ran had been holding her arm tightly at that time.

She must have noticed something.

"Second brother, has something happened to Fu Ran?" She was very worried.

Wei Xuan remained calm upon hearing this.

"This is the imperial palace, nothing will happen. Sister-in-law, don't worry. Maybe Fu Ran just went somewhere else." He had his own plans in mind.

"Mother, take my sister-in-law for a walk in the garden. I will send someone to look for Fu Ran."

Madam Wei nodded seriously.

"Don't make a big fuss."

"Yes."

Old Madam Wei took Lan Yin away.

Wei Xuan immediately summoned Bi'an.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Something happened to Fu Ran, go and ask for help from Eunuch Hai."

Eunuch Hai is the chief eunuch, and his subordinates know exactly what's happening in which palace.

Eunuch Hai rushed over after hearing this. After Wei Xuan gave him a few instructions, Eunuch Hai immediately ordered the eunuchs and palace maids around him to find the wife of Duke Weiguo immediately.

Search quietly so as not to disturb today's guests.

A moment later, the news came.

Someone saw several palace maids taking the wife of Duke Weiguo to the cold palace.
